Since April 2005, CAFOD has been supporting the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Mary to implement the Households in Distress (HID) Project in Mbala Deanery. The Mbala HID project was designed to slow down the spread of HIV and contribute to the reduction of the impact of the HIV and AIDS on families in Mbala and Mpulungu districts. The three-year funding cycle for Mbala HID has came to an end. CAFOD and the partner made an assessment of the project and what came out strongly is the need to integrate HIV and AIDS with livelihoods activities. The programme is building on the lessons learnt from the implementation of the Village orphan support livelihoods and psychosocial support programme. The Mbala evaluation of 2009 and the new programme developed then led to the need to scale up an integrrated HIV and livelihoods programme for Mbala.The project will draw on its experience and linkages with other programmes in Zambia supported by CAFOD and in the region and increase the understanding of the Livelihoods integrated HIV & AIDS response, causes of poverty and injustice. CAFOD will support partners and communities to implement an integrated livelihoods and HIV&AIDS programme while challenging their government at provincial and national level to adopt and implement HIV & AIDS, Livelihoods and other policies that promote social justice and end poverty. The programme for Mbala will: 1. Make follow ups on recommendations made through consultative meeting with partners and stakeholders in Mbala and the National Office on the nature of the programme. 2. Review and lessons learning from existing programmes and projects and take up some of the recommendations from the current partner’s evaluation conducted and scale- up the programme. through: • Capacity strengthening of partners and communities in various issues • HIV and AIDS (prevention, mitigation, treatment, care and support) • Advocacy • Gender–based violence, to be addressed as it cannot be ignored within the context of Mbala - in Zambia, both from an HIV and AIDS perspective and gender equality as an issue of social justice. • Food security – livelihoods within the context of HIV and AIDS.

The Zambia Country Strategy Paper clearly spells out CAFOD’s commitment to support Caritas network in the country to become more effective in humanitarian situation. CAFOD has been supporting all major humanitarian intervention proposed by Caritas Zambia in the most recent years. The CSP further reiterates that CAFOD will further invest to build humanitarian capacity in the country wherever find it required. Several provinces of Zambia have experienced severe rains early this year and there were widespread destruction in all walks of life. The government and other humanitarian agencies have rushed emergency assistance to the flood victims to the extent possible. However, even after 5 months of the floods hundreds of people have yet to return to their normal life due to various resource scarcities. The displaced households are still holding to emergency relief for their survival in several places. In order to ascertain the level of adverse impact on peoples lives due to this year’s flood in Zambia, Caritas network propose to have needs assessment training to the respective diocesan teams followed by a more comprehensive needs assessment in selected provinces. A lead facilitator will conduct the training event and take lead in the assessment and assume responsibility to provide clear recommendations to the follow up action plans. The project cost will include facilitators fees, participants cost for training, accommodation, cost for data collection and its compilation.

In this Strategic Plan, these programmes have been renamed to better reflect the new orientation and activities. The programmes are now as follows; - The Economic Equity and Development Programme (Debt,Aid and Trade Programme) This programme focuses on the structures of debt, aid and trade as the affect the well being of Zambians. New emphasis will include research into resource mobilisation through more equitable tax systems abd a reformulation of the debt mechanism proposal. JCTR will also focus on research into equitable market and trade systems that truly contribute to improving the conditions of the majority poor in Zambia -The Social Conditions Programme focuses on the micro-economic situation of Zambians. It seeks to examine the reality of life for ordinary Zambians. This programme will focus on employment policies and policies necessary to avoid "jobless growth". Heightened attention will be paid to the agricultural sector of Zambia's economy. This is informed by the need to influence policies on diversification of the country's economy, from an over-reliance on mining. This work ties in with JCTR's on-going work on the basic needs basket and the rural basket. -The Faith and Justice Programme (formerly Church Social Teaching Programme), works on grounding JCTR's work within a CST value framework.

The rate is at 30,9% , a decline of only 1% from 31% in the late 1980s. Nationally the prevalence rate in Zambia is at 14.5% at moment. Even when ARVs are available not every corner in Zambia is accessing ARVs and the cost of treatment is restrictive and also unaffordable for the ordinary person in Zambia. The ARVs have changed the face of HIV in Zambia, but this has posed the greatest challenge of prevention, both to new infections and ensuring that HIV is not spread even amongst those living with the virus and have started treatment. This has also led to a demand for nutritional support and income generating activities. The Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa established the Community Care programme in 1993 and has helped more than 11,750 patients to date , in both urban and rural Livingstone. The rural clients come in as referals. This programme will focus on palliative care, health education ,OVC support, economic support to project benficiaries, capacity building and advocacy.

The partner has been responding to HIV and related needs of the ailing Copperbelt, where most families were affected as both the mines closed as well as most homes losing one or all of its bread-winners. There are no jobs or if there they are on a shortterm basis. Roles have changed from men to women taking up raising the families and yet the levels of literacy were very low. This has inreased the vulnerability of women and children and mosty the girl child. The Programme is both urban and rural and even the small mining compounds like Kitwe and Luanshya.

CAFOD’s partner, Sacred Heart Sisters - Households in Distress in working with communities in Mbala District through the Home Based Care Programme came across a lot of orphans as a result of HIV and AIDS. The Programme also realized that there were very few schools in the area and in most instances children have to walk distances of up to 10km to the nearest school. This resulted in a number of children starting school very late in life or not going to school at all. The girls were most vulnerable, a majority of them are married off very early in life resulting in complicated baby deliveries or are malnourished and at the same time HIV positive. Chele school is being built in order to ensure that young children have access to education at an affordable cost and within a reasonable walking distance. The school is a community school and the the community has taken the responsibility of building the school. HID and the Ministry of Education were coming in to support the efforts made by the community. The school will focus on meeting the educational needs of vulnerable children unable to attend the government-run schools which are too far away. At the present moment the school has an enrolment of 80 children between the ages of 7 -13 years old. This number is going to increase with the availability of more classrooms in 2011 and even beyond.

The project acknowledges that stigma is a hindrance or an obstacle to accessing care, support and prevention services. Stigma also excludes people from their rightful place in economic, educational, social and family circles. It affects women men and children living with or affected by HIV. The pilot seeks to establish that because of their positions of influence faith leaders are in a position to tackle HIV related stigma both locally and more broadly. The initiative will strengthen faith leaders influence with Government and other decision makers in-country and will enhance their profile, nationally and with international agencies as key actors within their fuller response to HIV. This will also impact on: • Sustainable development, as this strengthens inclusion and uptake of services. • Promote equality and acceptance of all people because stigma isolates, dis-empowers and perpetuates poverty in communities. • Increase focus and attention to women and girls as they are most hard hit by HIV as individuals and are vulnerable by their very nature and status in society • Foster and increase power of positive change through working with faith communities and transform stigmatising attitudes to acceptance and integration.

St. Francis Care Project was founded in 1993 by the Franciscan Missionary Sisters for Africa in conjunction with the Ministry of Health. St. Francis Care Centre for VCT was opened in 2003. Due to the comprehensives of the activities offered, the name changed to St. Francis Community Integrated Care Programme in May 2011. The Programme seeks to alleviate the increasing burden on health services. Its major activities include: palliative care, health education, economic empowerment, OVC support, capacity building and advocacy. Target beneficiaries are: persons with disabilities, PLWHAs, chronically ill, OVCs, orphan guardians, prisoners, faith leaders and youths. The major challenges are: -The mobility of HIV and AIDS clients both new and old because the programme is located in a tourist resort and border town that links it with the wider Zambia via Lusaka, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia which predisposes new and old clients to risky behaviours as a result of wanting to make a living. -Because of its geographical location and dry climate, the district experiences recurrent droughts and food shortages leading to most children dropping out from school as they seek early employment. -Clients already on ART, treatment adherence is a very big challenge and most quickly think that they are healed or the become defaulters as they seek employment across borders. -The diversity of cultural and religious practices contributes to the cases of Stigma and discrimination thus limiting access to services. -Some policies by Government such cost recovery make it prohibitive for clients to seek services. -Shrinking of donor services in Livingstone has led to an increased burden on the few organisations against the population of 103 288 St Francis Community Integrated Care Programme goal is to improve the quality of life for the most vulnerable and less privileged members of the targeted communities through the following activities: -Prevention to include VCT/HIVCT, ART and food suppliments -Palliative care/Home Based Care and treatment of opportunistic infections -Health education -Economic empowerment and other sustainable livelihoods to include agriculture.

Around 1 million people, 14.3% of the population, are infected with HIV or AIDS, and many more are indirectly affected. Although increased access to ARVs has improved the quality of life for many, only half of those who need ARVs are able to access treatment. Without proper treatment, care and support, adults are not able to work, thus reducing household income. These already poor households therefore become increasingly vulnerable and are driven further into poverty. Ndola Integrated AIDS Programme will provide quality integrated community home based care services in urban Ndola and peri-urban and rural areas of Copperbelt Province. They will introduce livelihoods interventions with clients and volunteers, helping to build household economic security and improve quality of life. IAP will be trained in value chain approach by CAFOD, and will then train beneficiaries in savings and lending and business management skills. They will distribute grants or start-up kits and monitor progress. IAP will play a leading role in mobilising church and community leaders to have frank discussions around stigma and discrimination which still persists. IAP will contribute to MDG 6 by leading to a reduction in HIV incidence and the impact of AIDS by providing quality community home based care, with particular focus on access and adherence to treatment and services, reducing stigma and discrimination, and increasing awareness of healthy living and prevention methods. Economic empowerment will be promoted through business development training, thereby increasing income and improving livelihoods for the most vulnerable families.

Generally once the club has saved for a few months, the members will be entitled to borrow money to fund income generating activities. The funds they generate will enable them to pay back the loan in full and have profits left over to support their household and/or grow their small business. • Vocational skills training- This will be for 60 people (men, women youth people) in a business area of their interest including, but not limited to: sewing; food production e.g. high energy protein supplements, mushrooms, mealie production; chicken rearing, tailoring. • Training 60 people (men, women youth people) in entrepreneurship and business management e.g. administration, accounting, marketing, and advice from successful businesspeople on how to do well in business. • Making start-up capital available to 50 people who submit a successful business plan following the entrepreneurship and vocational skills training. • Training in marketing, and links to markets. Lusaka Diocese through Lusaka HBC (upon receipt of training from CAFOD) will train the clients and link them with markets and other businesses in the value-chain to improve their own skills and understanding of identifying viable markets and business opportunities. Clients will then be able to add value to their small businesses by improving their packaging, labelling, and linking up with suppliers and markets in the local and national markets.

According to World Bank statistics available at national level in Zambia 13.5% of the adult population is infected with HIV and AIDS , while UNFPA states that the national HIV prevalence rate among adults 15-49 years currently stands at 14.3%, which is a decline from 15.6%. The challenge remains halving new HIV infections by 2015 when only 25% of adult Zambians have been tested for HIV. Gender inequality has been identified as a structural factor driving the HIV and AIDS epidemic in Zambia.Statistics available in Zambia seem to point to the fact that , women have a higher prevalence rate of 16.1% compared to men at 12.3%. Mbala is the furthest part of Northern Zambia and close to Tanzanian border and lake Tanganuika leading to the DRC and Congo. The major driver of HIV is poverty, leading many to risky behaviours, such as transactional sex, cross border trading, early marriages, lack of employment and hence risky survival tactics come into play. Because of its location and distance from the main developments in Lusaka or Ndola the major cities of Zambia, the Sacred Heart Sisters devoted their time to working with the poorest communities of Mbala and Mpulungu in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Services are poor and there are distances that are prohibitive for some communities to access health delivery services let alone schools. There approach has been prevention is better than cure and community education through various means. This project therefore aims at contributing to the reduction in the spread of HIV and AIDS and its impact in communities of Mbala.

It aims to do this through working with local communities, faith leaders, traditional leaders and High School authorities, because these groups have broad reach and influence. The project focuses on: - Increasing knowledge and uptake of HIV prevention services - Reducing vulnerability of children and youths to HIV - Reducing stigma and discrimination of people living with and/or affected by HIV and AIDS - Increasing livelihood opportunities, and therefore health status, of people living with and affected by HIV and AIDS, including orphans and vulnerable children (through e.g. savings and lending activities) - Strengthen the capacity of Ibenga staff and care givers to deliver quality services in their community This project will include working with 19 schools on prevention campaigns, providing full and accurate information on methods of HIV prevention care and support. The project will be implemented in five sites, reaching approximately 16,400 people. Recognising that HIV has a disproportionate effect on women and children, there will be a particular focus on women, orphans and other vulnerable children.

This will be achieved through engagement of CAFOD’s strategic partners in Zambia which are Caritas Zambia National Office, Caritas Lusaka, Caritas Monze and Caritas Ndola. CAFOD has had several consultations and discussions with these partners on initiating accountability in their respective projects. However, the identified partners are at different levels of accountability initiation, for example Ndola Diocese has already initiated accountability at organisational level but would need enhanced capacity and support for working with communities to ensure project effectiveness as they had not done it before in more structured and systematic way. Caritas Lusaka and Caritas Monze are still to initiate accountability at organisational and community levels. This project will build up on the current CAFOD accountability work underway in Zimbabwe. Learning from the Zimbabwe experience will influence the accountability initiative in Zambia.

Current rates of transmission in these urban areas are 25.4% and 20.8% respectively, driven by factors such as: multiple and concurrent sexual partners; activities of sex workers and men who have sex with men; high levels of mobility and labour migration; low and inconsistent condom use; low levels of male circumcision; and mother-to-child transmission. These factors are exacerbated by widespread poverty; underfunded and inadequate educational facilities; poor access to health services and HIV prevention in schools; and gender roles that discriminate against women. The project is designed to reduce these rates through the education of young people in life skills to address these issues, and support of young people through clubs and sports activities. In addition, teachers, parents and other stakeholders will be supported through workshops and other forms of information dissemination. The project will be implemented over 3 years.

The project seeks to address these issues through processes of integrating Social and economic empowerment into WASH interventions among target communities and other relevant stakeholders. Background: This project is a continuation of the Monze Diocese Development Department (MDDD) WASH (2012 – 2015) project and is influenced by the internal monitoring results during the implementation period. The intended areas of focus for the WASH promotion 2012 – 2015 project were access to clean water, access to improved sanitation, access to improved hygiene, women empowerment and gender mainstreaming. Proposed project: This project will build on the previous experiences to foster; multipurpose use of water infrastructures, capacity development for local governance structures, increased awareness and knowledge in improved hygiene practices and healthy behaviours. The project will be implemented in two Parishes of Monze Diocese by Caritas Monze (a development department of the Catholic Church’s Diocese of Monze). Caritas Monze a long standing partner of CAFOD has a well-developed structure which uses the potentials inherent within communities making it easier for other members to emulate. The approach taken by Caritas Monze is that of Training for transformation targeting each person and all the people in the target area regardless of faith affiliation. The project primary target was in 2 of the 22 Parishes of the Diocese that are located in Choma (Chilalantambo Parish) and Namwala (Namwala Parish) Districts of the Southern Zambia. Altogether they have an estimated population of 345,769 people, 68% of whom live in the typical Zambian villages and largely depend on small scale farming for their livelihood. The other 32% is concentrated around the District centers and are involved in trade, farming or are formally employed. In each Parish Caritas Monze will continue to work with 5 groups (communities) of people each comprising of 40 households. Therefore 400 households will be targeted with an estimated population of 3,200 women girls, men and boys. The project will further target traditional Leaders (60 village headpersons and 5 chiefs), local government authorities and Chiefs and traditional affairs officials in the 2 District of Choma and Namwala. Overall objective: To promote access to clean and sustainable water resources, improved hygiene and sanitation and respond to gender inequalities and other needs of water user among vulnerable households in Namwala and Chililantambo communities Specific objectives: 1. Targeted households have improved their living conditions through multi-purpose utilization of established water points, livestock management and production, group savings and credit initiatives and promotion of self-help activities. 2.

Through its partnership role, CAFOD has been working with these partners in implementing programmes in Socio-Economic Justice, Good Governance, HIV and AIDS, Livelihoods, and, Water and Sanitation, through the Southern Africa regional office in Zimbabwe. Over the years, CAFOD’s programmes in Zambia have grown in strategic relevance and importance, thereby giving rise to the importance of the Country Strategic Plan (CSP) to help formalise and shape CAFOD’s growth with its partners in Zambia. In the interim, a Position Paper which was developed in July 2014, has been guiding CAFOD’s work in Zambia, whilst a new CSP is developed. The new CSP will aim to position CAFOD in Zambia to better respond to the changes and needs in the country as well as CAFOD’s corporate givens and imperatives in line with the spirit of partnership. The process of developing and implementing a CSP will be led by the country office in Zambia, which was recently established to foster this growth.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk10000.000010000.0000CAFOD General FundsGB-CHC-285776-ZAM304CAFODThe top-up investment funding will be earmarked towards pulling together a learning platform for the HIV and AIDS partners in Zambia.

There has been a decline in rainfall and as such Zambia is experiencing more frequent and intense dry spells. These trends are expected to intensify in the future with projected temperatures expected to increase by at least 2°C by 2070 (PPCR, 2014). Analysis from the Pilot Programme for Climate Resilience (PPCR) shows that the climate change has a large impact on development in Zambia, and the climate variability includes low frequency-high impact, extreme weather events (e.g. droughts and floods) and high probability-low impact weather events (e.g. erratic rainfall, warmer days and nights). This has affected yields in most parts of the country and has seen an increase in the price of maize (staple food requirement in Zambia) and common vegetables such as Chinese cabbage and rape. According to the Central Statistics Office the price of a 20 litre maize grain, 1 kg of Chinese cabbage and 1 kg of rape has increased by 20%, 15% and 29% respectively from May 2015 -May 2016. The increase in such essential foods has led to most community members on BLF project to have poorer nutrition which is a disadvantage on their health because they are living with HIV. The project communities who were provided with agricultural inputs (maize seed and fertilizer) last year (2015), experienced erratic rainfall which led to late germination and therefore resulted into a poor yield in most sites. The poor yield on the project has resulted in reduced income for most of the communities because it now means that their yield will be for consumption at the household level and selling. If the yield was abundant, the communities would earn some income through selling the surplus. In addition, the poor yield also means a lack of surplus maize seed that can be shared with other communities, thereby inhibiting the scale-up of the livelihood intervention on the BLF project. In order to mitigate (both prevent and pre-empt) the impact of change in climate, several interventions are hereby proposed to create a more sustainable and resilient approach towards livelihood in the affected communities.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Archdiocese of LusakaCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk68391.360068391.3600CAFOD General Funds68391.3600Archdiocese of LusakaGB-CHC-285776-ZAM306CAFODCAFOD will run a two-day hands-on Institutional grant writing for the partners that will be supported by CAFOD under the proposed CSP.

Zambia is ranked third highest country with cases of child marriages in the SADC region, according to Girls Not Brides, with 42% of women aged 20-24 years married by the age of 18, many of whom live in rural areas among the poor and marginalized communities. Approximately 25.7% of adult women have reached a secondary or higher level of education compared to 44.2% of their male counterparts. Gender inequality is a key determinant of risky behaviour in sexual relationships. In addition, gender inequality contributes to hinder women’s access to adequate information, education and services on health. This project will stimulate the debate among children and youths concerning gender relations in their own schools, communities and jointly reflect on possible measures to overcome the negative effects of gender inequality. Public events in the covered communities will address the issues of gender as well as of child and youth policies in the context of gender. This action will promote an open dialogue among children, youths and parents on these issues. As girls do not drop out from school due to early marriage, the number of girls attaining basic or higher education is expected to increase, which in turn contributes to more informed choices about teenage pregnancy. Parents are expected to assume more responsibility for the future of their girls and change socio-cultural patterns that expose them to risks of particularly dropping out of school, early or forced marriages. some of the project outcomes include : 1. Increased girls and young people’s (aged 10 to 24 years) access to and retention in education reduces their vulnerability to contracting HIV. 2. Reduced adolescent girls and young women’s (aged 10 – 24 years) vulnerability to unintended pregnancy and Sexual Gender Based Violence. 3. Improved livelihood skills of out of school young people aged 19 to 24 years for an effective response to poverty and HIV. 4. Improved knowledge on gender equality among young people (15-24 years), for an effective response to gender inequality and HIV.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Youth Alive ZambiaCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk65000.000045000.000045000.000045000.000060000.000065000.0000CAFOD General Funds45000.0000CAFOD General Funds45000.0000CAFOD General Funds45000.0000CAFOD General Funds60000.0000CAFOD General Funds65000.0000Youth Alive Zambia45000.0000Youth Alive Zambia45000.0000Youth Alive Zambia12000.0000Youth Alive Zambia11000.0000Youth Alive Zambia11000.0000Youth Alive Zambia11000.0000Youth Alive Zambia60000.0000Youth Alive ZambiaGB-CHC-285776-ZAM311CAFODThe Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary (SSHJM) Households In Distress (HID) Programme is a Faith Community Based Organisation that was established in 1991 and works in the catchment area of Mbala District in Northern Province of the Republic of Zambia. Mbala District is located at the far end of the Northern Province, about 1,067 Km from the Capital City, Lusaka, and about 168 Km from Kasama, the provincial capital of the Northern Province. It shares boundaries with the Republic of Tanzania in the North-East, Nakonde and Mungwi Districts in the East, Kasama District in the South and Mpulungu District in the West. It has access to Lake Tanganyika on the North-West. The HID Programme works towards economic empowerment of vulnerable members of the targeted communities in order to improve their wellbeing. The Households In Distress (HID) Programme undertakes project activities that are aimed at improving the nutrition and health status of vulnerable members of the communities in Mbala District; especially People Living With HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) and Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC). The HID Programme also works with other poor and marginalized groupings such as children and young adults with special needs and vulnerable adults.

To continue to fulfil its vision in Zambia in a coordinated and strategic way, the Bishops conference in 2016, developed a Strategic Plan, which will run from 2017 up to 2026. The new Strategic Plan captures the overall impact and expected outcomes that ZCCB wishes to see among all the people of Zambia, particularly those living in poverty. To successfully implement its ambitious Strategic Plan as well as to enhance the capacities of management and compliance with government requirements of accountability and transparency, ZCCB has reached out to its partners for support. This project will therefore support ZCCB by strengthening the management systems and skills that will support the implementation of the strategic plan. This will be achieved through: 1. Management capacity strengthening workshops for the heads of departments, heads of Catholic Institutions/Congregations and senior staff of the Catholic Secretariat to facilitate the adaptation and roll-out of the ZCCB strategic plan 2.

But the situation on the Copperbelt Province does not allow most people, especially the vulnerable poor to access justice because of the continued complicated nature of court processes. Further, access to legal services continues to be a major challenge by the vulnerable especially women and children because of high legal fees. The other obstacle is high levels of illiteracy and also ignorance of the law and legal procedures especially among women. In the rural areas of the Copperbelt, the only recourse for most rural women and children is customary law that tends to perpetuate the abuse of children and young girls. The perpetrator is fined to compensate the victim’s family, with offences that would attract substantial sentence under statutory law receiving cursory punishment under customary law. The community of the Copperbelt province therefore needs interventions to safe guard all forms of rights, particularly those of the women and girls ranging from the right for them to enjoy their youth, right to good education, right to land, protection from all forms of sexual abuse and any form of modern day slavery. The communities need to be sensitized on human rights and how communities can take part in the empowerment exercise of these victims of violations of human rights, starting at household level. The Paralegal Support Programme has been a response to violations of women’s and children’s rights in households and communities on the Copperbelt province. The Programme has thus been focusing on reducing the violations of women and girls rights through free legal advice/aid, legal representation, psycho-social counseling, and mediation. The programme has also been involved in promotion of human rights, and advocacy through training of police, teachers, local authority and other concerned groups in paralegal, and raising awareness in the community through mobile legal clinics, newsletter, and publication of legal materials, media and drama. In as much as the Programme plans to continue with these activities, it also seeks to proactively involve the girls and women in the empowerment initiatives so that they grow in the awareness of their rights in households and communities. Broadly, the project will focus on the following activities to achieve impact: 1. Promoting social justice by upholding human dignity and responsibilities for all 2. Advocating for just policies to ensure social justice 3. Providing checks and balances on governance issues 4. Providing legal assistance to vulnerable women and children, whose rights are violated Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Diocese of NdolaCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk56000.000044790.000056000.000056000.0000CAFOD General Funds44790.0000CAFOD General Funds56000.0000CAFOD General Funds56000.0000Diocese of Ndola44790.0000Diocese of Ndola56000.0000Diocese of NdolaGB-CHC-285776-ZAM318CAFODDespite consistent economic growth over the past decade, Zambia continues to face serious challenges to its development, predominantly in the form of rural poverty, food insecurity and malnutrition. It is estimated that up to 70 percent of the population in some rural areas live in extreme poverty. This perhaps partially explains why the landlocked, rural country has one of the worst rates of malnutrition in the world – at 48% of its population. Women bear a particular burden of poverty due to high levels of gender inequality that limits their access to land and income-generating activities. Given that 26.6% of all households are headed by women, this leaves a considerable proportion of the population vulnerable to poverty and malnutrition. The World Food Programme estimates that 53% of children under five and 30% of women of child-bearing age are anaemic, pointing to severe undernutrition and adolescent girls with a fertility rate of 93 per 1,000 likely to be more vulnerable. In the Copperbelt province alone, 44% of children are stunted – a condition that is entirely preventable if given access to good nutrition. The Copperbelt Provincial Medical Office states that severe malnutrition fatality for children under 5 stands at 17.5%. This project seeks to support district officials in mainstreaming their sector plans to include nutrition, to ensure that adolescent girls, women of child bearing age and children under 2 years can access the services required for their nutrition and wellbeing. The project will be based in the rural parts of the districts of Ndola and Luanshya in the Copperbelt, an area yet to benefit from Most Critical Days Programme investment. Over 16,800 adolescent girls, women of childbearing age and children under 2 who are vulnerable to food insecurity will be supported through: improved abilities to grow and sell food; supply of micronutrient food; and, WASH education.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Diocese of NdolaCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk97086.00003267.0000CAFOD General Funds93819.0000CAFOD General Funds48543.0000Diocese of Ndola48543.0000Diocese of NdolaGB-CHC-285776-ZAM319CAFODSouthern Zambia (which is most of the Diocese of Monze) has, since 1991 experienced unpredictable weather changes that have included droughts, flash floods, a shift in the rainfall pattern and at times extremely high temperatures up to 48 degrees Celsius.

The population in the catchment area of the programme is 16,800 The hospital started working on HIV and AIDS since 1990 and to date 5,245 clients have passed through the hospital. This project aims to improve the quality of life of people living with and affected by HIV, and reduce vulnerability to HIV through working with local communities, Faith leaders, traditional leaders and High School authorities for the benefit youth in schools, because these groups have broad reach and influence. Zambia is a Christian Nation and the multitude in the number of tribes and cultures calls for the need to work with traditional leaders in order to challenge some of the traditional cultural practices that make communities vulnerable and working with Faith leaders to reduce stigma. This programme will work with -19 schools on prevention campaigns and providing full and accurate information on methods of HIV prevention care and treatment. People, inclusive of youths will be empowered to access critical services such as Universal HIV Counselling and Testing, antiretroviral treatment (ART) adherence support, prevention of mother to child transmission and psycho-social support, including referrals to health institutions.

Mbala has a population of 203,129 people, with about 70% of the people living in the rural parts of the district. In spite of Mbala being one of the oldest districts in Zambia, socio-economic growth in the area remains limited, with very few development projects being implemented.

According to the 2016 Global Hunger Index, Zambia is among the three countries with the worst levels of hunger in the world with 47.8% of the population undernourished. In Luapula province, where the Diocese of Mansa operates, the levels of stunting reach 56%. Further, based on baseline studies conducted by Caritas Mansa in previous years, the data showed that only 11.9% of the targeted households were able to secure at least three meals per day and very few women were utilising and benefiting from entrepreneurship skills and contributing to household income. Caritas Mansa through various interventions have been able to address some of these challenges, but these interventions have only been implemented in a few districts of Luapula province. This project will therefore be focused in one of the districts, Kawambwa, that has the lowest production and productivity among small scale farmers, resulting into household food insecurity, low income levels and poor nutrition. This project will therefore look at three key results for the target group; food security, nutrition and income. It is anticipated that the targeted farmer households will experience increased and diversified agricultural production enabling them to take at least three meals per day and have a more diversified and nutritious diet. It is further anticipated that the farmers will increase their income due to increased production, productivity and profitability in selected value chains. The increased incomes would in a long-term enable them gain access to school for their children at all levels of education, afford good health care and increase their asset base such as improved housing and alternative and sustainable livelihood sources. In a long-term children’s situation is expected to improve with reduced malnutrition and improved performance in school due to good health. Additionally, women’s situation is expected to change with more being able and allowed to take part in decision-making and economic activities at household and community level. It is also expected that target communities will have better access to government services as a result of advocacy efforts.

The Zambia Demographic Health Survey (2013/2014) reveals that 43% of Zambian women aged 15-49 have experienced physical violence at least once since age 15, while 47% of married women aged 15-49 report having experienced physical, sexual and emotional violence from their current or most recent husband or partner. Although SGBV affects both men and women, the ZDHS report revealed that the majority of perpetrators of violence for ever married women were current husband or partner (63%) while those for never married women were mothers or step mothers (28%). Sexual violence among women aged 15-49 in Zambia is highest at 23%, with Northern province at 15.8% while the prevalence of physical violence is highest in Northern Province standing at 50.9%. Child marriage is also major developmental problem with the prevalence in Zambia currently standing at 31% (ZDHS 2013/2014). Gender inequality is compounded by discriminatory social and cultural norms, attitudes and practices which contribute to the current status of low economic empowerment among women owing to low access to and control over productive resources and low participation in decision making processes. This project therefore aims at promoting gender equality by reducing gender inequalities and injustices through tackling negative gender social and traditional norms that promote gender inequalities, SGBV and child marriage while at the same time improving access to psychosocial and legal information and services for SGBV survivors. The project will aim to achieve the following two major outcomes: (1) Communities where women, men, girls and boys are valued equally and have equal opportunities to participate in decision making and economic and social activities; and, (2) Reduced acceptance of and prevalence of SGBV and child marriage in targeted communities.

By February 2018, Zambia had received over 18,000 refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo since January 2017. Luapula Province has been struck by a steady influx of refugees from the DRC, specifically from the areas of Pweto in Haut Katanga, and Moba, in Tanganyika Province, fleeing increased fighting between the government forces and non-state armed groups. All recognized refugees entering into Zambia through Luapula province on an average rate of 100 per day are transported to Kenani Transit Centre. However, with just 56 hectares, the site will soon run out of absorption capacity hence a new site named Mantapala located in Nchelenge district is being developed into a permanent refugee settlement. Mantapala Settlement is 5,100 ha with capacity to host 25,000 refugees. A total of 222 refugees were relocated from Kenani to Mantapala during January. It is expected that by April another 2000 will have moved. Refugees relocated to Mantapala Refugee Settlement have no access to livelihoods and mostly rely on the food assistance which can be provided only for limited period of time. Locality is remote without any services and developed markets. Further, the Zambian host community in this location suffers high poverty rates (80% of the host community lives under the poverty line). This project therefore aims to provide livelihood interventions to contribute to stabilization, improved food security and nutrition of refugee population who move to Mantapala Settlement from Kenani Transit Centre. Further, the project will also seek to increase resilience and self-reliance of both refugees and host communities in Mantapala Settlement in long term.

It is estimated that up to 70 percent of the population in some rural areas live in extreme poverty. This perhaps partially explains why the landlocked, rural country has one of the worst rates of malnutrition in the world – at 48% of its population. Women bear a particular burden of poverty due to high levels of gender inequality that limits their access to land and income-generating activities. Given that 26.6% of all households are headed by women, this leaves a considerable proportion of the population vulnerable to poverty and malnutrition. The World Food Programme estimates that 53% of children under five and 30% of women of child-bearing age are anaemic, pointing to severe undernutrition and adolescent girls with a fertility rate of 93 per 1,000 likely to be more vulnerable. In the Copperbelt province alone, 44% of children are stunted – a condition that is entirely preventable if given access to good nutrition. The Copperbelt Provincial Medical Office states that severe malnutrition fatality for children under 5 stands at 17.5%. This project seeks to support district officials in mainstreaming their sector plans to include nutrition, to ensure that adolescent girls, women of child bearing age and children under 2 years can access the services required for their nutrition and wellbeing. The project will be based in the rural parts of the districts of Ndola and Luanshya in the Copperbelt, an area yet to benefit from Most Critical Days Programme investment. Over 16,800 adolescent girls, women of childbearing age and children under 2 who are vulnerable to food insecurity will be supported through: improved abilities to grow and sell food; supply of micronutrient food; and, WASH education.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk4548.00004548.0000CAFOD General FundsGB-CHC-285776-ZAM330CAFODThis project aimed to mitigate the impact of HIV by improving the quality of life of people living with HIV and reducing vulnerability to new HIV infections in urban, peri-urban and rural Lusaka Province and the Central Province of Zambia.

Strategies for a solution demand an integral approach to combating poverty, restoring dignity to the excluded, and at the same time protecting nature” (LS 139). “Today, we have to realise that a true ecological approach always becomes a social approach; it must integrate questions of justice in debates on the environment, so as to hear both the cry of the earth and the cry of the poor” (LS 49). Based on this call of the Laudato Si, CAFOD is now applying a resilience lens that encourages staff and partners to look holistically at issues of poverty and injustice in communities, understand their drivers and root causes, design responses that reflects the inter-connected nature of these challenges and ultimately strengthen the capacity of communities to anticipate threats, adapt and flourish. The training is therefore aimed to strengthen the Resilience capacities of partners to ensure that their project design encompass; (a) poverty reduction, (b) natural resource protection and equitable access and use through more environmentally friendly interventions, (c) local CSO’s and communities become aware of their rights and hold governments to account, linking advocacy / policy influencing to thematic programming.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)CAFODCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk5312.45655312.4565CAFOD General FundsGB-CHC-285776-ZAM338CAFODCAFOD is commissioning a financial audit of the Inclusion for All: Promoting economic & social rights of people with disabilities in Mbala district project implemented with the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus & Mary - Households in Distress.

Southern Province, which was the worst affected, had late rainfall which came in mid-December 2018 instead of either late October or early November and experienced prolonged dry spells between January and March, 2019. As a result, overall crop production declined. Based on a Rapid Assessment of Crop Conditions after Prolonged Dry Spells in Selected Districts, the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit in Zambia indicated that crop condition for the assessed districts in Southern province was deemed to be poor and estimated that over 80% of the crops was affected in the Province. Based on a similar assessment undertaken by Caritas Monze in April 2019, data collected shows that 72% (estimated 83,654) households in the operational areas of the Diocese of Monze, had complete maize crop failure despite having cultivated and planted fields averaging 3 hectares per household. Due to recurrent droughts prone in Southern Province which has led to a cumulative impact of declining crop production particularly from the 2016/17 and 2017/18 farming season, most of the households have depleted their livelihood asset base to secure food consumption. The proposed response therefore aims to contribute to the overall efforts to support the most affected households in Pemba, Namwala and Gwembe Districts of Southern province in recovering from the adverse effects of the drought through the provision of life-saving food assistance and access to safe water that could cover their early recovery needs. The response will complement some of the existing government responses, such as maize distribution, which has been assessed to cover less than half of the population of the target communities impacted by the drought.

The hunger index indicators are particularly worse in rural provinces, for example in Luapula province, levels of stunting are 56%. This is because food and income security situation in Luapula Province is considered alarming with the province rated the second poorest province in the country, after Western Province, with extreme poverty at 67.7%. This project will, therefore, focus on increasing income and savings at household level; improved nutrition, hygiene and access to vital health services; improved policy implementation and land justice; and improved environmental stewardship. Once these four interlinked human development outcomes are achieved they will lead to ensuring that the poorest and most disadvantaged communities in Kawambwa Tea Estate Parish and Musonda Falls Sub-Parish of Mansa Diocese are economically empowered and start enjoying sustainable and inclusive livelihood opportunities. This will be achieved by building the capacities of the small scale farmers in sustainable and productive-enhancing farming practices; good health, water, sanitation and hygiene; food preservation and storage; value addition; and to facilitate their access to markets and credit, while ensuring that the national policy environment is conducive as well as ensuring environmental protection. In all these initiatives mainstreaming cross-cutting issues of gender equality, human rights, HIV and AIDS, environment and disability will take a centre stage in order to achieve all-inclusive development – not leaving anyone behind.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Diocese of MansaCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk50000.000060000.000050000.0000CAFOD General Funds60000.0000CAFOD General Funds50000.0000Diocese of Mansa60000.0000Diocese of MansaGB-CHC-285776-ZAM343CAFODPoverty levels still remain high in Livingstone District, about 84.4% of the 142, 036 population of Livingstone live below the poverty line (Central Statistical Office – 2010).

These groups of people have been identified to have limited access to livelihoods opportunities in the target areas. They have no assets and have limited productive capacities due to their circumstances. They also suffer from socio-political exclusion, that is, they do not have any credibility, voice or platform in their communities partly due to low self-confidence.

The Northern province has experienced a number of climate-related hazards including droughts and dry spells, seasonal and flash floods, and extreme temperatures. Some of these, especially droughts and floods, have increased in frequency and intensity over the last two decades and have adversely impacted on food and water security, energy and livelihoods of communities. The rampant cutting down of trees and burning has further led to soil erosion, leaving deep gullies which become unproductive land. The erosion also contributes to the washing away of the fertile top soils which are washed away by running water from an abnormally heavy downpour of rains. In areas where Chitemene system of farming has been practised for a long-time, soils have become so loose that even the wind erodes the unprotected soil. The project will seek to address these identified problems by undertaking a wide range of interventions that aim at improving soil fertility, deforestation and use of conservation agriculture. The project will also strengthen capacity in government line ministries and also conduct advocacy with the traditional leadership in trying to mitigate the climate change issues.

Despite the range of legal protections, protection for children and vulnerable adults remains a challenge. Issues of child protection include child labour, forced child marriage and child pregnancies, child neglect, defilement for children below the age of 16 and lack of access to social services such as education and health, a situation which compromises their future. In regard to child labour for example, “it is estimated that one in three children aged 7 to 14 years (950,000 children) are in employment. High poverty levels have also contributed to the abuse of vulnerable adults. There is a further serious lack of knowledge among many stakeholders who work with children and vulnerable adults with regards to the observance of human rights, safeguarding and protection. This project will bridge the knowledge gap and promote a safe environment for children and vulnerable adults who are in facilities and institutions that the Church is running in Zambia. Further, this project will seek to build on CAFOD's efforts to roll out SADI to church institutions that CAFOD cannot reach through its partnership approach. The intended target group are leaders of different Church institutions particularly those dealing directly with children and vulnerable adults. In total, ZCCB intends to train at least 40 people from each of the 11 dioceses in Zambia (440 people) plus leaders of all religious congregations and heads of educational, health institutions child care facilities and all the members of staff at the Catholic Secretariat.

St. Francis’s target group mainly includes people with HIV and mental health challenges and the rising price of mealie meal has had a negative impact on these families who are now failing to have a meal a day. Inadequate food is leading to non- adherence to medication which in turn is likely to lead to regression in their physical/ mental health and possibly death. In addition to this drought related situation, the COVID19 threatens to exacerbate the health of our clients due to their weakened immune system. This project aims to ensure that people living with HIV and Mental Health challenges have improved food security and are adhering to their drugs. The food provided is expected to help our Clients maintain proper adherence to their medication but also it will help them build a strong immunity which can help to prevent death in the event of infection from the coronavirus.

Zambia has now been affected by the pandemic with 1,200 confirmed cases as at 8th May 2020 and 10 deaths. According to the risk analysis conducted by the Ministry of Health, the coronavirus has the potential to affect 7,616,108 people in 43 districts of the ten provinces of Zambia. The pandemic has also the potential to impact the economy of the country and ultimately the resources to provide on-going provision of essential goods and services as well as the resources to respond to COVID-19. The ease of response to COVID-19 is aided by strong and stable economic fundamentals. With the COVID-19 pandemic government’s revenues has dropped as most businesses in various value chains have been adversely affected. Further, the demands to contain the outbreak of COVID-19 has also meant that the little revenue that the government is currently generating is being channelled to COVID-19 mitigation efforts. But clearly with a constrained treasury due to debt and dropping revenues, it is justifiable that a permanent relief mechanism is assured for countries such as Zambia. Against this background, the Jesuit Centre for Theological Reflection (JCTR) in partnership with Caritas Zambia is seeking to bring about economic justice for the vulnerable and voiceless citizens of Zambia by influencing Zambia’s lenders to cancel some of its debt. It is hoped that this will free up resources for public service delivery particularly in the education, health and water and sanitation sectors. It is also envisioned that the reduced debt burden will increase the country’s ability to effectively and efficiently respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Jesuit Centre for Theological ReflectionCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk15000.000015000.0000CAFOD General Funds15000.0000Jesuit Centre for Theological ReflectionGB-CHC-285776-ZAM358CAFODThere is a threat of increased positive cases of COVID19 in Mpongwe and Masaiti districts and based on this St. Theresa Mission Hospital working to contain the spread of the virus by early detection, isolation and supportive care and treatment of COVID19 cases. This project therefore seeks to support St. Theresa Mission Hospital on the following measures that will enable the hospital support vulnerable patients during this period. • Construction of an isolation facility (ward) • Procurement of medical equipment • Procurement of personal protective equipment (PPE) • Drilling of a borehole for the improved provision of waterCatholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)St Theresa Mission Hospital IbengaCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk30000.000019400.29004750.0000CAFOD General Funds25250.0000CAFOD General Funds10186.2900CAFOD General Funds9214.0000CAFOD General Funds30000.0000St Theresa Mission Hospital Ibenga10186.2900St Theresa Mission Hospital Ibenga9214.0000St Theresa Mission Hospital IbengaGB-CHC-285776-ZAM360CAFODCAFOD is supporting the Catholic Diocese of Ndola to implement a project with a focus of building community resilience to climatic shocks, through improving food security, caring practices for vulnerable groups, and sanitation and hygiene practices to enhance the nutritional status of rural communities in Zambia for 11,640HH. For the past two years, the staff working on the project have partly been working on other projects supported by other agencies. Unfortunately, in September 2020 CDoN lost a major project which was matching the staff salaries for staff working on the MF6 project. As a result, most of our staff on the project remained on a 50% salary pay which the project was contributing. Therefore to ensure that the project remains on course and staff deliver on all planned outputs and outcomes, CAFOD will match the salaries for the staff who are affected until at a time the partner finds resources through proposals which they have sent out to other cooperating partners to match the project salaries.

It further seeks to develop CSO’s ability to create a critical mass of citizen voices to underpin their initiatives on Debt and accountability. Citizens voices are essential in CSO’s ability to improve the quality and effectiveness of public policies and promote equitable management of public resources, so as to meet the aspiration of the SDGs and development of the country. The project will enhance CSO and citizen groups’ ability to implement routine rights-based social accountability through campaigns, community mobilisation, media engagement and setting the debt as a political agenda. It will also create platforms for advocacy and innovatively use of media for advocacy. A specific aim of the action is the capacitation of CSOs to active voice on Debt and public accountability watchdogs who advocate for more commitment, transparency and accountability in addressing challenges of debt in the country.

Causes include, low awareness among women and youths of their civic rights and responsibilities in the electoral process (mainly due to low access to information); inadequate measures to ensure protection and respect of human rights of women and youths and the discriminatory practices on women and youths that promotes unfair participation in the electoral process. Low awareness among women and youths of their civic rights and responsibilities in the electoral process has also caused abuse of women and youths in the election process and reducing their dignity. Women being objectified and used to campaign for their male counterparts, while youths are used as tools of violence against other candidates. Addressing these challenges calls for increased women and youth voices in key decision making, hence the need to enhance active participation of women and youth in the electoral process. The proposed project will implement activities in two phases: pre; and post elections in the Lusaka Archdiocese. These activities will raise awareness on civil rights and responsibilities among women, men and youth, enhance the capacities of women, men and youth to effectively participate in the electoral process and will further build the capacities of the media to promote gender and youth responsive coverage during the electoral process respectively. Additionally, the project will build capacities of elected leaders, women, men and youth for them to effectively perform elected official duties.

Zambia has experienced 3 waves of COVID since its first case in March 2020 and is now beginning to experience the fourth wave of COVID with the first cases of the OMICRON variant detected early December. The recent discovery of the new OMICRON variant of the virus has also come with its own challenges, with grave negative impact on human life and all the socio-economic and political structures. Therefore, concerted efforts are required in order to strike a fine balance between protecting the health of Zambians, minimizing economic and social disruption, and respecting human rights. It is in view of the foregoing that the Zambia Conference of Catholic Bishops (ZCCB) through its Secretariat would like to contribute and supplement government efforts in the prevention against and dissemination of information about Covid-19; particularly concerning the vaccination exercise that was re-launched countrywide last November 2021 Catholic Agency For Overseas Development (CAFOD)Zambia Conference of Catholic BishopsCAFODcafod@cafod.org.uk10000.000010000.0000CAFOD General Funds10000.0000Zambia Conference of Catholic BishopsGB-CHC-285776-ZAM365CAFODThe Catholic Diocese of Ndola has been CAFOD’s partner since 1990 and during this time both organisations have implemented health, poverty reduction, governance and human rights projects.
